How to confirm a booking by approving the booking submitted by the guest
Thu, Sep 14, 2023
Jicoo's booking page can be set up with a booking request (approval) system, so that a booking submitted by a guest can only be confirmed if the host approves it.
Intended use
- To confirm appointments only after fully confirming the booking details.
- To confirm a booking by selecting one of the booking requests with overlapping dates.
Overview
This setting is useful when you receive a booking from a guest and cannot confirm the booking right away, for example, when you need to fully discuss the booking with the guest before confirming the booking, or when you cannot confirm the booking only by adjusting the schedule.
By approving or denying a booking request received from a guest, you can confirm or deny the booking to the guest before the appointment is confirmed.
This can prevent a disappointing experience for the guest when an already confirmed appointment is cancelled due to the host's circumstances.
Detailed instructions
To set up a booking request (approval) system
Open the booking page edit screen. 2. Set "Basic Settings" > "Reservation Request (Approval) System" to "Approval System". 3. Save the booking request settings.
The booking page for booking requests only will display the following symbols.
